Every semester, Lindenwood makes sure that students have many opportunities to stay involved, have fun, and attend events where they can meet new people and enjoy college life to the fullest.

Starting on March 21, Lindenwood University moved to the third phase of lifting COVID-19 protocols and making masks optional in most campus settings. These include classrooms, labs, studios, and events. Now students are not required to wear a face covering during on-campus events.

This month’s events include Siblings Day, LU Stress Less Fest, Spring Dance Concert, and RENT play.

Here are some of the events to look forward to in April:
